"I wear a women's 8. 5/9 shoe, so purchased the size Medium. Unfortunately, it is too big and a Small would have been more ideal. Just a heads up for anyone about to order that measuring your foot in my would probably be best."

Remarkable Value for Money
"Having dealt with OAPL many times before, they continue to impress with their efficiency, competitive pricing and range. This Oapl Short Air Walker costs less than a compression sock from some others. While I was impressed by how robust and well constructed it is, the downside is that it is inordinately heavy and would be quite difficult for some to drag around depending on their injury. It will take me a while to get used to wearing it, but I hope for a positive outcome to my busted ankle. Fitting instructions are sketchy at best, but with just three velcro straps and an inflator it is not rocket science."
